Living in the past becomes reality, yet old times not as good as remembered!
7 September 2020
This "Twilight Zone" episode from season 4(the extended year) called "The Incredible World of Horace Ford" was one that was interesting and sentimental as it twist with a theme of the past. Horace Ford(late good character actor Pat Hingle("Batman" and "Batman Returns") is a likeable and young married man who's a toy designer only he spends much of his day on shift arguing with his tough demanding boss and laughing and making jokes and trying new far out designs on toys. Plus he loves to talk about and think about his past it's like he loved the good old glory days. Only in an odd and strange way when he visits his old streets and stomping grounds it's shown and revealed his childhood was not as good as he thought. The episode displays his discomfort and blocked out memories well, it's message is that it's important for one to come to reality and truth as finally they can be at ease and live in the present day. Overall well done episode a sentimental feel of memory lane showing how the past does effect one and can be relevant and the work of Pat was a pleasure to watch.
